Summary
Lewis Miller was an artist in York, PA. He made sketches of 22 Hessian soldiers who fought for the British during the American revolution and stayed in the York area after its conclusion. The author's book is based on those Hessians. In the introduction, the author states, "The purpose of this paper is to consider the individual soldiers, their families,their lives, and their involvement in the York community in which they settled. What happened to these men after the Revolution ? Why did they choose the communities in which they settled. Were they accepted by the Americans ? Did they experience financial success ? What was the nature of their family life ? Did their families suffer the stigma of having a 'Hessian' patriarch."

Summary
"The hand that penned the original parchments of the Constitution belonged not to one of the Founding fathers who signed it, nor to any of their prominent contemporaries. It belonged to the little-known Revolutionary War veteran named Jacob Shallus, the son of a German immigrant. This volume, the first biography of Shallus ever published, tells his fascinating story in the context of Revolutionary era Philadelphia, 1749-1796. Appendixes provide information about Shallus' son Francis---who himself was a noted engraver---and a brief history of the travel and preservation of the Constitution are included." [from Amazon.com]
